Beg to differ. Poems on PM, email and texted.

I can't write with a pen anymore, but when I could, I always valued handwritten letters more than texts or typed.

I am a firm believer in sending letters to my sweetheart. Granted I am saving on stamps right now, I loved getting and receiving a letter from my significant other. Most of the time, I would paint a border, but would never limit myself. My favorite was a letter I wrote to my love on a paper plate, folded it in half, taped it shut, and sent it across the pond. Not only did it make her laugh, but I can still imagine the expressions on postal workers' faces when it passed through.

When I went to Navy Bootcamp I started my letters to my girlfriend with a drawing of her face and a poem, that's all first page was. I ended up charging shipmates 10 bucks for drawing and 5 bucks for poems for their letters... I remember over a decade later on a 6 month Med Cruise allowing guys to use my poems on their letters to their wives... for a fee! I believe the first one I ever did in Bootcamp to my GF.... my wife framed it, her drawing crying and a song in spanish translated to "Song for a Sailor in the High Seas". Over 30 years later I put music to it and recorded but didn't liked the vocals so will like to redo again... just that we been divorced for 18 years so... those feelings of September of 1980 are not there now.

awwwww.....that's bittersweet.
I think those feeling are still there, just part of a different space and time.
@Lavergne it is what it is when it is and I am a better person because of it.
@MissKathleen I had heard that. Never did but I wished I had.
@MissKathleen Never considered what I did a beautiful story... that is one of the greatest lessons in life that what you see small and take for granted to other human being is Beautiful and of Great Value. To me was simply manifestation of who I was.... before the Navy I was an illustrator and commercial artist, I had been writting poems and songs since age 14. To me was Natural, without any schooling or apprentice those skills revealed to me as a child. I had said it before.... my best toy as a child was a pencil and a notebook. Thank You much for bringing me back beautiful memories of a simpler me.
Err... there are many individuals that can't read those letters. What about languages without cursive writing? Kind of elitist there. I had an uncle that had the best cursive writing I ever seen. He did a lot of practice. Spending a good portion of his life in prison for 3 different murders. I read many of his letters to my grandma. I remember letters from my father were always from a typewriter. Grandma always said... his secretary typed them. Cursive is pretty and all but... I am more for the content, not the media.

Have you ever read a book called, "the artist's way"by Julia Cameron? She offers a 12-week course to unblock. She got me back into cursive writing. I actually love it now! I think everyone should read this book!
@SukiSue Of course, it is beautiful to do cursive writing. I remember maybe it was 4th grade private school we were finally allowed to use pens, only fountain pens and only cursive... the messes on the desks... we all needed to show our penmanship and what am I? LEFTHANDED!!!! Ink always on my writing hand. The arrival of cartridged pens and ballpoints helped. But lefties Drag instead of Pull. Davinci's Solution? ...write backwards and read by a mirror. Everyone should read the book. About my bad habits now and acquired from a college profesor I use triangles for the letter A.
I hope not, but I fear the younger generation probably don’t do it the old fashioned way. Isn’t it all done electronically nowadays?

As long as it's the men writing them to the women. It's NEVER a good idea for a woman to write a love letter to a man..shows she's desperate, needy and clingy-it's likely to make men take to their heels to go find someone with more self-respect..

@MissKathleen If you are writing love letters to strange men, then, um... Men don't like to be courted and chased, although they'll always feel flattered and be glad for free sex. But you lose their respect. Men want to be the pursuers. Some more feminine men like to chased however, and there are many on this forum.
@MissKathleen New boyfriends, old boyfriends, etc. I am very masculine, and used to write fancy love letters to my long term love partners on their birthdays because I thought it was a nice gesture. They NEVER reacted well. In fact, they acted horrified and withdrew from me immediately. I since read The Rules, and when I followed them, I got great results. Let the man be the predator. He chases the women and women choose. I was too masculine to realize what most cis hetero women know instinctively.
@birdingnut There are men and there are men. As for me - I like the woman to at least show some indication that she may be receptive to being courted. Or at least being "friended!" Some of the more sensitive males don't want to be mistaken as intruders. And, by all means, when passing, meet their eyes and smile a bit - mutuality is a great way to break the ice.
